Going Commando Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 According to my husband, I'm a genius, if only for one point (dishwasher-wise): I put the silverware in with the handles up...that way when you unload/use them, you don't grab the part that's goin' in yo mouf. I know what you mean, and it bothers the mild germaphobe in me to have the handles down. But the silverware didn't get as clean in my dishwasher if I loaded it handles up. So I would end up washing my hands as if I was prepping for surgery before I unloaded the dishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar78 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Well,either there are women who can't load a dishwasher properly,or there some seriously anal retentive men posting in this thread. We'll let the experts decide. Hey, if the woman expects me to help clean the kitchen, part of which is regularly unloading the dishwasher—then efficiency is key. I got the system down to wear I set a ten minute timer and the place is spic and span before that buzzer goes off. She's always late and scrambling. I hate the chaos so a lot of things are pretty regimented. I guess that IS anal-retentive. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsluggo Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 when i first opened this thread i thought it was more of: "the things that women can't do because they would be in danger, because some men are animals, and not in a fun way" not a playful thread topic at all.... ... THIS thread, also could've quickly lost its playful edge... I'm glad it hasn't (we'll see if it can continue, in spite of my best efforts to be a wet blanket!)

Elessar78 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Then my hands get cold Gloves made from sweatpants material? Or MAYBE get one of those things the QBs have on really cold days. My girlfriend is naturally good at video games. She played a little as a kid on the NES and Sega Genesis and on computer games so old they came on floppy disks. And then she went dormant as a gamer. I got her into the modern generation of consoles when we moved in together and she was fascinated with watching me play Skyrim. Took her like two weeks to learn the XBox controller and then pretty soon she was beating RPGs on higher difficulties than me. She games with me and good couch co-op games are extremely satisfying ways to spend time together. It's also interesting that, since she started playing RPGs, she's gotten so much better at reading maps. And they say vidjah games don't learn you nothin. Does she give you the mushroom stamp when she beats you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsluggo Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 ----------------------------------------------- When i load the dishwasher... my wife ALWAYS repacks and re-arranges it. And she always does so when i am not there to see it. I'm not sure if she is embarrassed at being OCD on the issue (and doesn't want me to see) or is afraid i will be offended (and doesn't want me to see) Gloves made from sweatpants material? Or MAYBE get one of those things the QBs have on really cold days. that thing looks like it has a hole cut-out on the inside :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corcaigh Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I know what you mean, and it bothers the mild germaphobe in me to have the handles down. But the silverware didn't get as clean in my dishwasher if I loaded it handles up. So I would end up washing my hands as if I was prepping for surgery before I unloaded the dishes. Whirlpool dishwashers solve this problem by having a catch that allows the front of the silverware basket to open. Handles down for washing but lie the basket down to empty and you can use the handles to put the silverware away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar78 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 In my dream house, silverware drawers wouldn't exist like they do. You'd just take out the rack, like above, and replace it. Like magazines on an assault rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I do the presort silverware thing for knives, I mix up the forks and spoons for cleanliness sake. It does make unloading much faster. Why can't you? Your boyfriend/husband/other would probably think it was hot. By the way, I read your response to my wife. She was impressed with your wit. I'm still trying to keep up the facade that I'm a cultured, intelligent and classy lady to my man... Thank the Lord he doesn't know about ES. Yet.

I hate the chaos so a lot of things are pretty regimented. I guess that IS anal-retentive. . So we Duke fans have got our **** together? Good to know! I am regimented as well. I get up waaayyy earlier than I need to, because I have to write myself notes for the rest of the day so I don't end up in said "chaos". (nevermind reading the RTT, and ES in general...I can't keep up anymore!) I swear, I would pay my husband to unload the dishwasher. (He always says, "If you need another check to make sure XXXX gets done, just let me know"...and I know he's being funny & sarcastic at the same time, but I'm dead serious about the unloading thing.)

daveakl Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 The notes is another thing. Can't you people just remember tasks without making a list? You remember what I said 4 years ago to your sister after a night of drinking, I doubt you wrote THAT down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacase Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 She can have any one of the 6 or so that were caterwauling under my deck last night. I think my dog is still barking about it. San Francisco is teeming with the stocky buggers, and they are brazen as hell. Plus, two days ago there was a skunk just standing in the middle of the street in front of my house. Tell her to take that dude too. Crossbow....problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
